61 Section 7 DEVELOP • analyse emergent internet-connected process control technologies; • anticipate vulnerabilities around digital currencies; and • monitor market trends in telecommunications technologies to develop early defences against anticipated future attacks. 7.4.4. We recognise that horizon scanning goes beyond the technical, to include political, economic, legislative, social and environmental dimensions. Cyber security is just one aspect of the issues that effective horizon scanning can help to address. Therefore, we will ensure that where we conduct horizon scanning of these other policy areas, we will take into account any cyber security implications. 7.4.5. We will also ensure that cyber policy-making follows an evidence-based approach, taking into account assessments from all available sources. This will include, for example: • specific technical evidence, for example on the Internet of Things, or the future role of advanced materials; and • international strategic and societal trends and their impact on cyber. 7.4.6. We will ensure that cyber security is considered within the remit of the crossGovernment Emerging Technology and Innovation Analysis Cell (ETIAC), which will be established to identify technology threats and opportunities relevant to national security and that cyber is considered by existing horizon-scanning structures, including the Government Futures Group (GFG), and the Cabinet Secretary’s Advisory Group on horizon scanning (CSAG). Measuring success 7.4.7. The Government will measure our success in establishing an effective horizon scanning capability by assessing progress towards the following outcomes: • cross-government horizon scanning and all-source assessment are integrated into cyber policy making; and • the impact of cyber security is factored into all cross-government horizon scanning.
